Message from Austria to Master
After last year, I was not really surprised when I saw that Turkey chose to
disband his army in Con. I cannot resist so I am going to walk in there. I
am also making an impossible convoy (Gre C Apu-Smy) to signal to Italy that
I want him to get a Turkish center too. I do not want to seem too greedy
(which I am, of course :-)).
I am also attacking Sev and Gal. Turkey gave me support for Rum-Sev in the
fall, but if he intends to support me again, I hope that he realizes that
I'd rather make Ukr-Sev. Also, by attackin Sev and Gal, Rum does not need
support. I am moving Tri-Ser to be able to cover Bul in the fall.
Very interesting!
Message from England to Master
Well France obvously wants to carry on fighting. If he convoys then he risks
Italy roaming around his back garden. The fleet build in BRE is a little
obvious as to his intentions. I will have to retreat back home and start
again.
No comment on the rest of the world, I have enough problems of my own.
Message from France to Master
My anti-England bias is just too strong to resist this convoy.

[the expected convoy - I'm not risking going directly to lvp since it can be
bounced, and actually maybe seeing iri-lvp succeed is no bad thing since it
will give me more flexibility with my fleets next turn]

[covering attack against bel - I don't expect Germany to cut support by
ordering kie-hol]
pic-bur
[hope Italy doesn't order to mar in the spring]
I'm expecting England to hold Den, and to order nwy-NWG. (I don't want
swe-nwy, giving an option for him to convoy to pic). Then a 50% chance of getting
lvp in the fall. But I might be inclined to order NAT-NWG in the fall (hoping
for NWG-edi), threatening nwy, and bringing the German units into play against
Denmark.
Message from Germany to Master
Well, the Rusisan still seems to be trying to be anti-G for some reason.
Removing Sil would have been far more useful, as now he cannot defend Stp
without giving up hope on Sev and or War. The Russian's days are numbered.
Good.
Meanwhile Italy decides to take a cheap shot on France. Stupid. France
covers with Gas easy enough. Does Italy not see that Austria is going to
gain by leaps and bounds on Russia? And that Germany isn't going to be able
to help much in this respect?
Turkey helps Austria. Again, brilliance is just astounding.
Only one in my humble opinoin who is playing with an ounce of brains at the
moment is England. I guess I'll give France the credit due too....but I
still think he could have secured some aide in his fight with England by
letting Germany have a build. Then again, I am biased.
Well, again we bounce, this time over Mun. Question is whether to cheap
shot Denmark now, or support him, hoping to cheap shot him in the fall.
Guess we gotta cheap shot him to bounce out Swed if its coming down
(Den->Hel, Swe->Den). Keep him honest.
Message from Italy to Master
Another turn in limbo. Will once again support Austrian F GRE - AEG. With
this he can probably take CON in the fall and maybe I can sneak into SYR. I
do not want to move F ION to AEG, it leaves me too wide open to a French
move east or even to F GRE - ION - TUN/NAP. Thinking about maybe MAR in the
fall, maybe....
Not much else, STP still vulnerable to England. Germany collapsing, France
moving on England. Turkey's removals puzzle, but he has made things unsure.

Message from Russia to Master
There go the flood gates. Everything over but
the crying. Interesting that a France stab would
have helped so much, and now he faces one from
Italy. Turkey is screwed though I care less these
days as he has attempted to rollover so quickly
to the austrians, as if they would take the bait.
I now pull back, and wait. No way to really attack.
I hate russia in no press. what starts out as a bounce
in sweden ends like this. dang.
Message from Turkey to Master
Well, I'm going to keep defending against Italy, and welcome Austria into my
centres. Not the way I'd like to play, but I don't think I have many options at
the moment. It would be nice to attack Sevastopol, but I don't think Austria is
quite ready to support me yet, and besides, his support will probably be cut.
